Featured Artist

From time to time we feature artists and customer's who have completed one of our projects.

Today's featured customer project is from Emma Robson. In all of our years, we must admit that Emma has raised the bar higher than ever before. You see, Emma, of her own admission, has never ever made a woodworking project before. She not so much as even owned a scroll saw. What she lacked in tool and experience, she had in determination and willingness to try. She has that in spades. She purchased our Victorian Dollhouse and set to work.

Read in her own words her account of building the project, then marvel at the pictures she submitted to us. It just goes to show, if you have the willingness to achieve a goal, it is possible!

Emma Robson: "Hi, I have just spent 15 months completing your Victorian Dollshouse. I have also made all of the furniture and fittings for it. It is fully glazed with leadlight windows, all electric downights, tiling, jarrah floorboards etc.... It has certainly been a challenging project, and the learning curve was steep! I have attached a photo of myself with the house... As for the hours, I would have to say at least 1200. That is working on 20 hours a week for 15 months. Some weeks would be more, rarely less. Bearing in mind that as an absolute beginner, some things I did two, three, four times. My first staircase was made four times before I was happy with it! If you are interested in any other photos, as you upload, please let me know. I have LOTS taken at all stages as I intend to make one of those picture books now that it's complete.
Kind Regards
Emma Robson
